Case summary

Court refrained from acting on this as it was weak. Policemen who tendered in the exhibits only received them but never recovered them. The accused was said to having confessed to the robbery but only while being beaten. This admission was inadmissible as it was obtained under torture. Court held that prosecution has not adduced enough evidence to connect the accused with the commission of the robbery and that there was no prima facie case made out for the accused to answer.
